Urgent ! Incidence Meter Question

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Scott,
As has been stated, use the meter from the same side for all 4 test points (L/R wing, L/R stab).  Put the gimbal inside the front clip and the clip inside the scale.  Only adjust the rear clip when moving it between the surfaces.  
   There is no need to "zero" the scale.  Use it as a relative scale.

  Subject: Urgent ! Incidence Meter Question


    I am currently installing my wing adusters on my Focus 2 and I am trying to calibrate my Great Planes Incidence Meter. I placed the meter on a perfectly level table and set it for Zero Degrees. I decided to rotate the device 180 to see if it would still be level (the laser was roughly facing north and now is facing south). The degrees changed positive 1/2 degree. I thought I might have moved the placement of the laser so I secured everything possible with tape and rotated it again. Same thing. Does anyone know what might be the problem???

    Thanks in advance!
